Perfect GE, took this while taking 2 hard major courses and it gave me a chance to do well in both. One zoom section and about an hour or 2 of work a week. The content that I did learn was fairly interesting compared to other arts courses I've taken. So if you do want to learn about asain theater you could put more time into this course.

was asynchronous, had weekly meetings for section, was super easy, good discussions, actually interesting content, weekly quiz (super easy), weekly postings about a video or reading, 1 bigger project that you build throughout the 6 weeks, can be about any asian solo performance you want, was graded very leniently. feedback was very good too. :D

I have taken multiple theatre classes and this was by far the best one. The plays she provided were relevant and funny. At first I was annoyed having to read, but then when I would get to around page 3 I was hooked. As long as you read the plays and go to classes you will do well.

class are extremely less interesting and the work that the class requires to read are extremely long and it seem like the classes are just a repeat and nothing creative or spark a actual conversation with critical thinking (honestly don't think about trying to take this class if you want to learn something or a class that can be useful)

TAs are kind and grade very generously. There is no midterm, just weekly online quizzes and paragraphs each week. Go to lecture and write down everything on the slides for the quizzes. You only need to do the primary readings. Final at the end is in essay format but hopefully you should have a near 100 in the class that you won't have to worry.

Short quizzes every week, but if you go to class and take notes, you will do well on these quizzes. The paper assignment is not bad, TA's are also very helpful. Many readings but most of them are fun to read. Overall, a enjoyable class for GE and you can actually learn things for Asian performance forms.
